I'm not expert in curry, but it seems like they can get play pretty fast and loose when they want. You have coconut curry, duck curry, and yellow curry. That's a fruit, an animal, and a color. Why not go with peanut butter? From what I understand, peanut's are a big part of Thai cooking, so if this was a Thai curry then I don't see the flavors clashing at all.
I recently went to Jitlada, a local Los Angeles Thai restaurant that is known for being very authentic. I figured, when in Rome, eat like the Thai people do (I think I messed that up). I went with the hottest curry. It didn't even look like curry. It looked like five or six hot coals on a plate. The sauce couldn't even stay liquid because it was so hot. I'm still recovering.
Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.
So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.
Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
